Government and Meat
In Chapter 9, the role of government in the meat packing industry is explained. I was horrified by how the government, the Republicans in particular, cared so little about the health of the American people and based their decisions regarding meat regulations almost entirely on their own agenda. The government's number one priority should be the citizens. Protecting the meat industry only protects the wallets of already rich men but poses serious harm to the workers the industry and the entire American people. It's impossible to change the mind of cynical politicians, thug, so the best way to fix this dilemma is to get more funding to OSHA so that regulations are kept to a standard within the industry.

I agree that the OSHA needs more funding to regulate the industry that affects such a large portion of the nation on such a basic level. I imagine if the public knew more about how the government is handling their responsibilities, on top of how the meat packing industry is so quick to reach for a profit, the OSHA would reach its necessary funding through fundraising in protection of the population of the United States.
